Hello crafty friends! I’ve been playing again with the sunflowers from Claritystamp – it’s a great little set and the Clarity team are donating 50% of the proceeds from their sale to the British Red Cross in aid of Ukraine. I’ve used the inspiration card over at Global Design Project for this one, picking up… Read More sunflower pattern
Welcome to my crafty blog and another of the new stamps from Julie Hickey Designs – the ‘garden blooms’. I thought of these when I saw the inspiration photo and colours from The Card Concept (especially the pattern on the wellies), and teamed that with the sketch from Fusion (which I rotated) and the theme… Read More spring garden
Welcome to my crafty blog, and another one of the new stamps from Julie Hickey Designs – the ‘daisy blooms’. This is such a pretty image – just what I needed for the new theme at The Paper Players and it worked beautifully with the colours from Just Us Girls I strated with a piece… Read More birthday blooms
Welcome to my crafty blog and another sunflower card. This one uses the new set from Claritystamp, who are donating 50% of the proceeds from them to the British Red Cross appeal for Ukraine. They were the obvious set to use when I saw the new colours from CAS Colours and Sketches and I’m also… Read More sunflowers of peace
Hello crafty friends. I’m back today with another Easter card – trying to get myself well organised for next month! This one uses a couple of retired sets from Stampin’ Up! (‘hold onto hope’ and ‘gift of hope’) with the colour palette from the current challenge at TGIF. I started by stamping the wreath from… Read More Easter cross
Hello everyone. Just a short post this evening – I’m away for the weekend and can’t get an Internet connection in my hotel room so I’m blogging this on my phone (which I’ve never done before!). As I’ve typed that sentence, it’s struck me that’s a real ‘first world problem’, especially given then context of… Read More Hope for tomorrow
Welcome to my crafty blog. I started working on this card earlier today and, as is so often the case for me, it kept evolving as I went along! I’d decided to try to make a card that’s a bit more ‘grungy’ (not my usual style, as you’ll know), using the colours from Just Us… Read More make art not war
Welcome to my crafty blog and my regular Sunday dip back into Claritystamp’s craft club. By coincidence, it’s another cupcake (after the card I made earlier this week) and this time I’ve gone for chocolate and cherry flavour (one of my favourite combinations!) thanks to the colour palette at CAS Colours and Sketches. I’ve paired… Read More Claritystamp craft club lookback – cupcake #142
Welcome to my crafty blog, and a second play with the new ‘more for the boys’ set from Julie Hickey Designs. I’m doing a two-part online class with Julie & Hazel Eaton this week, so looking forward to more inspiration, but decided to have another try out in the meantime. I thought this set would… Read More birthday stars
Welcome to my crafty blog. I’ve been thinking about my mum quite a bit recently as I’ve started making Mother’s Day cards. She sadly died nearly 4 years ago – this card was especially poignant as daffodils were her favourite flower, so this one’s in memory of her. I took the colours from this week’s… Read More Mum’s daffodil
